Who isn’t ready to see John Hillcoat’s new southern gangster film, “Lawless?” Go on, raised your hands, we will only laugh at you behind your back.

This film has it all. Great woman who live off their natural beauty, Strong leading men in Tom Hardy, Gary Oldmam, and Guy Pearce. Plus, the up and coming leading man in Shia Labeouf.

Bootlegging, old fire arms and gangsters, and tragedy! Call me out school, but in my mind, those ingredients combine to make a film I want to see.

John Hillcoat (The Road, The Proposition) is directing Lawless from a screenplay by Nick Cave which is based on Matt Bondurant’s novel The Wettest County in the World. The film follows a bootlegging gang (Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf and Jason Clarke) in Depression-era Franklin County, Virginia, threatened by authorities who want a cut of their profits. Jessica Chastain, Gary Oldman, Mia Wasikowska, Guy Pearce, Noah Taylor and up-and-comer Dane DeHaan (from Chronicle) also appear in this. The Weinstein Company first premiered the film at the Cannes Film Festival and will be releasing Lawless starting on August 29th.
